mike3md Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Recently acquired, I appear to be the 5th keeper, and the file with the car shows it was in the Nuneaton/Bedworth area from late 90s. Anybody any info pre this century? (PM me) Thanks in advance Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3md Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Well, the Power of Google! This week I have had a pm from a kind person who knew the whereabouts of the 3rd keeper (who rebuilt the car) and I have just had a most interesting phone chat with him. The kind person had known the car earlier this century and was wondering what had happened to it, so tried Google, and this posting appeared. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Mike, I've got a feeling I sold this car several years ago as a project car, I'll have to investigate my old pics etc.....but I've got a feeling that registration number sounds familiar... Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3md Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Mark, It would have been around April 1997, if that helps. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
480LBP_Info Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 It was a pleasure, and I'm glad she's still on the road. I love that car, and I have a lot of good memories of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Mike3md I think the gentleman you bought that car from was my now deceased grandfather he lived in bedford at the time his name was Kenneth. That car was my dads pride and joy we lived in Hatton outside of Warwick and he gifted it to me at age 4(many pics of me in diapers in the garage in Hatton stood in the drivers seat). Unfortunately in 96-97 we moved to the states and didn’t have the money to ship the car over(wasn’t running at the time) so his dad (my grandfather) sold it for us. I’m now 38 years old living in Michigan USA and would love to track this car down and potentially buy it for my dad. Let me know if anyone in this thread is the current owner. I can be reached at joelarmitage34@yahoo.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
